Today in History: Evil Imperialist Mutant Japanese Octopus Defeat Day

Here we have this true-to-life representation of the infamous event. It was on this date, 60 years ago today, that the U.S. defeated a swarm of mutant octopus-human hybrids created by evil imperialist Japanese scientists, just 10 months after the dropping of the nuclear bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki ended World War II in the Pacific. The scientists and their military collaborators where in hiding following the armistice and refused to acquiesce to the will of the Allies. They embarked on radical mutation experiments to create their hellish army. Here we see an anonymous Marine Corporal wielding the now-celebrated Nippon barbecue Stick brand flamethrower to vanquish one of the horde. Mysteriously, the scientists all disappeared but it is rumored they created an underground bunker on the island now known as Godzilla Island. Thank you for joining us for this very special moment in history.
